Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Innovative technologies have greatly impacted medicine by facilitating the early detection and staging of diseases, by guiding the development and selection of personalized treatment, and by offering efficient therapeutic modalities. Among the wide range of optical imaging approaches, such as point of care, wearable, bed-side/cot-side devices that can be used for diagnostic and monitoring therapeutic interventions, optical technologies, which encompasses microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic optical imaging techniques, are emerging as powerful non-invasive modalities for functional and molecular imaging of in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo specimens.
The scope of this Special Issue is to provide a source of information to review and share recent developments in novel optical technologies based on functional and molecular optical imaging techniques. We invite investigators to contribute original research and review articles that will stimulate the continuing translational efforts to bring optical imaging from the bench to the bedside. Sample includes but are not limited to:
- Rapid diagnostic optical technologies
- Low-cost, easy to use optical technologies
- Wearable optical devices
- Point of care optical devices
- Optical monitoring devices at the bedside, intensive care units

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Technologies is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
